Removes Python from the CI checkers. The estate language policy bans Python, and #417 added two Python checkers. They are the only .py files in the repository, so the governance "banned-language files" check fails on them.

main also went red on the Static Analysis Gate after #417 (it passed at 645d7a2). These files are the first suspect for that. The Hypatia job log is not readable from the sandbox, so this is not confirmed. Please check the gate on main after this lands.

What changed

  • scripts/ci/check-allow-fail-expiry.sh replaces the Python version. It is bash with GNU date, and it keeps the same output and exit codes.
  • scripts/ci/check-ruleset-drift.sh replaces the Python version. It is bash with gh and jq, and it keeps the same canonicalisation and exit codes.
  • The linter step calls the script through bash. The rulesets README and the ultraplan are updated to match.

How it was checked

  • Allow-fail: output and exit codes match the Python version at 2026-10-09 (14 units, exit 0) and 2026-12-01 (exit 1). Missing-marker, invalid-date and warning-window fixtures also match.
  • Drift: zero drift against the five live rulesets. A tampered snapshot gives the same two findings as the Python version. --write reproduces the committed snapshots after canonicalisation.
  • The Python-free tree has no .py files (git ls-files '*.py' is empty).

PR #412 (dependabot, actions group) bumped the workflow refs from v2.87.22 to
v2.87.26 but did not update actions.lock. The lock check ('Verify immutable
action lockfile') then fails on main, which is the Workflow Security Linter
red since #412. The entry is the v2.87.26 tag commit (f7e5d7c), with the same
owner_id and repo_id as before. No workflow references v2.87.22 any more, so
that entry is replaced rather than kept.

Verified: no workflow file references the unlocked ref; the change is one
entry replaced in the lock. The authoritative gh-actions-lock check could not be
run from the agent sandbox (its release download is outside the allow-list), so
CI is the verifier.

#417 added scripts/ci/check-allow-fail-expiry.py and check-ruleset-drift.py.
The estate language policy bans Python, and `main` had no other .py file, so
the governance "banned-language files" check fails on these two. The same
merge turned the Static Analysis Gate red on `main` (it passed at 645d7a2),
so the Python files are also the first suspect for that regression. The
Hypatia job log is not readable from the sandbox, so this is not confirmed.

Both checkers are ported to bash with jq (already used by
scripts/ci/triage-hypatia.jq). Behaviour, messages and exit codes are kept:

- check-allow-fail-expiry.sh: identical output to the Python version at
  2026-10-09 (14 units, exit 0) and 2026-12-01 (exit 1), and identical on
  missing-marker, invalid-date and warning-window fixtures.
- check-ruleset-drift.sh: zero drift against live GitHub (5/5), matches the
  Python version on a tampered snapshot, and --write reproduces the committed
  snapshots byte-for-byte after canonicalisation.

References updated: workflow-linter step (run via bash), rulesets README, and
the ultraplan. The ultraplan's "Python link checker" row now says it was a
scratch tool that is not committed.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Updated the tooling used by automated checks for repository ruleset drift and workflow expiry dates. The checks retain their existing validation and reporting behaviour.
  • Documentation
    • Updated the drift-check instructions and CI hygiene notes to reflect the current tooling.

Walkthrough

The pull request replaces the allow-fail expiry and ruleset drift Python checkers with Bash scripts. It updates the workflow, ruleset README and planning document to reference the replacement scripts.

Changes

Allow-fail expiry checker

Layer / File(s) Summary
Expiry validation and workflow adoption
scripts/ci/check-allow-fail-expiry.sh, scripts/ci/check-allow-fail-expiry.py, .github/workflows/workflow-linter.yml, docs/planning/ULTRAPLAN-2026-10-09.adoc
The Bash checker scans workflow YAML for non-false continue-on-error values and validates same-line issue and expiry markers. It reports invalid or expired dates as errors and near-term dates as warnings. The workflow and planning entry reference the Bash script. The planning document also identifies a scratch link checker in its L13 evidence entry.

Ruleset drift checker

Layer / File(s) Summary
Ruleset comparison and documentation
scripts/ci/check-ruleset-drift.sh, scripts/ci/check-ruleset-drift.py, .github/rulesets/README.adoc
The Bash checker fetches enforced rulesets, normalises JSON and compares snapshots by ID. It can write snapshots or report drift, and uses distinct exit codes for errors and drift. The README now references the Bash script.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Fetch every page of the ruleset list.

GitHub returns 30 rulesets per page by default, and gh api fetches further pages only with --paginate. If a repository has more than 30 applicable rulesets, this checker omits later pages. A snapshot created by --write from that incomplete list can then report no drift while it still omits those rulesets. Fetch and combine all pages before building live_ids. (docs.github.com)
